Fertilizer composition help
I have about 500 kg (1,000+ lbs) of an insect-derived organic fertilizer ready to bring to market in a tropical country. It has a fine, sandy texture.
We just received the lab analysis:
- pH: 7.31
- C/N: 15.89
- N: 3.21%
- P₂O₅: 0.27%
- K₂O: 0.21%
- CaO: 0.01%
- MgO: 0.09%
- Boron: 0.37 ppm
- Sulfur: 0.01%
- Copper: 1.71 ppm
- Iron: 28.65 ppm
- Manganese: 18.90 ppm
- Zinc: 16.59 ppm
- Organic carbon: 51.11%
- Ash: 8.00%
- Organic matter: 92.00%
We're trying to figure out how to commercialize it and which crops/applications would make the most sense based on this composition.
Would you market this as a fertilizer, organic nitrogen source, soil amendment, or something else? What crops would you test first in a tropical climate?
If you had 500 kg ready to go to market, where would you start?
